In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

"As a therapist who has worked with girls for 30 years, I believe friendships are harder for girls to navigate than they’ve ever been. Girls need good, trusted guides to help them through the world of relationships so they can find their own sturdy voices of kindness and strength with others. Let’s Be Friends does just that. I’m grateful for the truth and wisdom Calyn and Blythe have shared in these pages, and I can’t wait for it to find its way into the hands of girls."

Let's Be Friends Reviews
"So many of our daughters struggle with the deep desire to make and keep great friends. Blythe and Calyn have created a practical and encouraging resource for girls to explore what God says about friendship. A much-needed resource!"
COURTNEY DEFEO
Author of In This House We Will Giggle and Treasured, mom to two daughters
"We live in an increasingly lonely world. Many young women and girls lack substantial community and deep friendships—friends that love and encourage them right where they are while also inspiring them to better themselves. Let's Be Friends is the answer to this problem. Filled with insightful advice, practical tips, and God-centered encouragement, this book is exactly what young girls need to help them find kindred-spirit friends that will last a lifetime. I wish I'd had a copy of this book when I was younger!"

"For your teenage daughter or the teenage voice inside your own head—what a welcome relief to hear this kind and relatable encouragement in Let’s Be Friends when it comes to the complicated area of female friendships."
LISA-JO BAKER
Bestselling author of Never Unfriended
"Calyn and Blythe Daniel have created the friendship manual girls have been looking for to help guide them as they begin to independently establish healthy relationships. It is pretty, interactive, and most importantly, it points girls to God's word for how to navigate friendships. I have been working with middle school girls for over twenty years, and friendship struggles have been a constant issue among my students throughout that time. Let's Be Friends allows girls to have a place to process, to pray, and to learn how to have a godly response during friendship challenges. I wholeheartedly believe girls need this book."
CHRISTINA SACHTLEBEN

"In Let’s Be Friends, tween girls will learn not just how to recognize a positive friendship, show respect and forgiveness, and grow into a strong relationship, but also how to love the girl they see in the mirror. Readers will discover how their identity in Christ shapes their choices, and they’ll be empowered to show the love and kindness of God in all their friendships."
